New York Giants Sign Ex-Falcons WR Ray-Ray McCloud to Practice Squad

The New York Giants have signed veteran wide receiver and return specialist Ray-Ray McCloud III to their practice squad following his release from the Atlanta Falcons due to a "private matter." McCloud, who had career highs last season with 62 receptions and 686 yards, brings valuable experience and versatility to a Giants offense depleted by injuries to key receivers like Malik Nabers. Head coach Brian Daboll, familiar with McCloud from their time with the Buffalo Bills, views the addition as a way to provide rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart with more offensive weapons. Despite a reduced role this season with the Falcons, McCloud's reliability as a receiver and returner offers the Giants a potential boost in both areas. The signing requires a roster move as the Giants currently have a full practice squad, but McCloud's presence could improve the team's consistency and explosiveness after recent struggles. The move also signals an attempt to shore up depth in the passing game amid injuries and recent offensive setbacks.
